ESPN would never allow this:
quote:
n a soccer match, the main stadium clock never stops during gameplay, even for injuries, substitutions, or fouls. Instead of pausing the clock, the referee tracks time lost due to these delays and adds it as stoppage time (or injury time) at the end of each half.
12

Its a stupid rule. The amount of extra time is unknown and they fake being injured worse than LeBron.

This would be too easily abused to favor conference/media favorites. Bama down by 10 in the 4th... add 20 minutes of stoppage time!

The one reason why it is not stupid is it prevents commercials from happening. For that reason alone I can get behind it.

The real change from soccer to football would be how the plane is for a score. In football the ball just has to break the plane. In soccer entire ball has to cross for a goal. That’d be cool for football. Especially those of us who like defense

They would abuse this to hurt Bama in the playoffs if facing media darlings like Notre Dame or Ohio State

I said that when they added the 10 minutes on. That is exactly what would happen

Why are you dragging us into this?
Auburn and any team Kiffin coaches is better known for this.

I was thinking quite the opposite. It makes no sense why they can't pause the clock. What's left is an unknown amount of time.

They would still do the commercials except that it would be PIP with the game audio muted while the commercials play.

Soccer is fricking stupid.

Hell they've already started implementing that on occasion.

The solution for this in football is already part of rugby. The player crossing the plane doesn't matter. The player needs to touch the ball down to the ground in the end zone. That's how you score a try in rugby, and ironically, it's where we get the term touchdown from, anyway.

That’s much better for the people sitting in the stadium. Going to a game is rough when you have to sit thru all the TV timeouts.

Never mind Grok gave me the answer.
The clock does not stop but the referee adds it to stoppage time, usually around 3 minutes.
